TRUNK-CASTERa SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 289,716, dated December 4, 1883,

Application filed August 21, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHONYV. RoMoDKA, of Wauwatosa, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented 5 certain new and useful Improvements in Trunk-Rollers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to trunk-rollers, and

I0 will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the corner of a trunk to which my invention is attached. Fig. 2 is a section of the same, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged section.

I5 Ais the trunk; B, the corner-iron; C, the bracket in which the roller 0 is journaled.

- The pintle c of the bracket Oprojects up into a bushing, D, that is riveted in the bottom of corner-iron B, as shown plainly in Fig. 3, and

20 the upset portion of bushing projects; through the corner-iron to form a bearing for the upper side of bracket 0 to turn upon. The pintle c fits loosely in the bushing D, so that the bracket may turn freely as thetrunk is moved 25 about, and yet the pintle is riveted tightly enough to prevent the roller end of the bracket from rising high enough to carry the roller up against the iron, as it is intended that all of the bearing-contact of the bracket shall be borne by the bushing D. The corner-iron in- 0 closes the corner of the trunk and acts as a buffer.

My device may be easily and cheaply put together in the shop, and when in place on a trunk will not be liable to bind or get out of 3 5 order, as the parts are few and are well put together. v

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The bushing D, riveted in the corner-iron, 0 in combination with the bracket 0 of roller 0 and the pintle c, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand on this 11th day of August, 1883, in the presence of two witnesses. 4 5
